Chapter 67 He Runqing Invites a Song

With the arrival of Cao Zhan, a bass show was beyond words, and the rehearsal quickly entered the right track. After five or six times, when Li Qian felt that there was no big problem with the cooperation of the band, he immediately Let the five elements and my elements begin to sing. At the beginning, the cooperation between the band and the singer must be a little strange, but after going through it twice, it will soon become familiar.

Therefore, Li Qian decisively cleared the venue and began to try recording.

Unexpectedly, the first pass was quite successful!

However, considering the problem of keeping improving, I still recorded two more times, and only then did I declare that the demo recording of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" is complete!

But at this time, the time was not even four o'clock.

The following "Let's Swing the Sculls" required fewer instruments and fewer people in the recording studio, but because it was a slow song and Li Qian paid much attention to details, it was even more difficult to record.

However, after nearly three hours of busy work, everyone successfully completed the recording of this song.

At this time, it was only half past six.

It can be said that although there was a little accident at the beginning, the recording this time was still extremely smooth overall.

So that night, Li Baolong hosted a banquet for all the musicians and sound engineers who participated in the recording, and Li Qian and Wuxing Wusu sisters also participated. There were two tables full of people, but he was amazing because he could have something to talk about with that Professor Wang Huaiyu. After all, the two were old friends for many years, and with other people, he mostly just nodded. , that is, whispering a few words with Li Qian from time to time.

"Why do you want to make songs for them? I heard from Fu Zhenbang that you still want to supervise the whole album for them?"

"It's nothing else, it's just to make money! I want to eat and support my family! If you have such a big family inheritance, of course it's okay to do nothing, but I can't!"

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"Well, actually, I just think they are all pretty, so... are you satisfied?"

"Well, this reason is more reliable."

"..."

"Bingbing came home a few days ago and told me that you spoke ill of me behind my back?"

"yes!"

"Do you really think that my things have become more and more artistic in recent years?"

"Don't you think so?"

Someone smacked his lips, "Then what do you mean, I should also sing?"

"That's not necessary! But... As you can see, we have five young and beautiful girls here, and they need a lot of youthful songs, mainly fast songs, so why don't you take the time to write two?"

"Like your song Sister Sister Stand Up?"

"What? Don't tell me you can't write?"

A certain person was slightly embarrassed, "That's not the case, but... you know, I'm old... that little girl's style, I... definitely can't grasp it!"

"Cut! Then, in the future, you will take a week to take your son and daughter to and from school every day, and chat with them more often. Oh, by the way, it is best to go to the kindergarten for two days and spend time with the children. Let's play games together, listen to them sing, come back and write two nursery rhymes, shall we?"

Someone seems to have overheard some startling grotesque, "I drive them to and from school?"

"You can't even let go of this airs, can you? No wonder my sister-in-law told me last time that your son is afraid of you at home, like a mouse seeing a cat!"

"Hey, strict father and loving mother, are you not afraid of your father at home?"

"No wonder you age so fast! Dude, if you don't change, you will really fall behind!"

"..."

After nine o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended.

Li Qian and Li Jinlong stood at the door to send the musicians away, but Cao Zhan took the initiative to be the last.

Li Qian finally realized something was wrong.

He took the initiative to walk over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Cao Zhan's face was a little embarrassed, and after dawdling for a while, he said, "Actually...it's nothing, let's talk about it another day!"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this, and looked at him without speaking.

Sure enough, Cao Zhan couldn't hold back any longer, and said with a bit of distress: "A friend, I don't know where we know that we are on good terms, so he asked me to invite you to sing... Hey, don't laugh, okay, for me , this is quite embarrassing!"

Li Qian continued to laugh, "Who? A man or a woman? You can't even give it to me, so you want mine?"

Cao Zhan spread his hands expressionlessly, "I used to... owe some favors...you are the most popular!"

Li Qian curled his lips in disdain, "Woman?"

The other party nodded helplessly.

Li Qian continued to curl his lips, "Old lover?"

There is nothing embarrassing about this to Cao Zhan, "I spent two years together when I was doing rock and roll in Shuntian Mansion. She is now at Sony and is currently He Runqing's manager."

Li Qian raised his eyebrows, "Sweet song? Are you sure why Runqing wants my song?"

Cao Zhan spread his hands, with a tangled look on his face, "Sweet songs still need to find you? She hopes to have a Chinese style."

Li Qian's heart moved when he heard the words, and he immediately laughed maliciously.

Liao Liao must be the most popular pop song in China recently. Liao Liao's hottest and most popular songs must be the three light rock songs headed by "Persistence". So it is said that there are many music in China now. People are thinking about those three songs, one is trying to find the reason why this so-called light rock love song suddenly became popular, and the other is hoping to capture the essence of light rock and write other works, but people who really focus on the market don’t I can't see it, just in Liao Liao's album, there are two other songs that are also on the Golden Songs on Demand list!

"My Hometown of Passionate Love" is okay to say, it is a folk song after all, after all, it was once a big hit, even when this song came out, many people couldn't wait to shout the slogan of the revival of the folk song, which shows its audience base of strong.

But the other song "Unfinished Love", which takes the Chinese style route, although the subject matter is not new-in China, the Chinese style is of course nothing new. If you are Chinese, how can it be more Chinese than those opera records? ——But its Chinese style, whether it is from the creation of lyrics and music, or the arrangement, is extremely novel and unique.

Although this song may not be as popular as the three light rock songs of "Perseverance" at first glance, and it is also not as popular as "My Hometown of Passionate Love", but you must know that before it appeared, there had never been any works in the Chinese style category. It has been on the Golden Melody On-Demand List! But now, as a Chinese-style song that is not considered novel, it has entered the Golden Melody On-Demand List in one fell swoop. Although the ranking is not too high, in the eyes of real experts, this weight is not at all compared to the three songs of "Persistence" The popularity of the song is poor.

To a certain extent, if there are follow-up successful works to continue to expand market acceptance and reputation, this brand-new Chinese style can completely create a small category of pop music independently!

Of course, those who can see this at present, in the entire pop music circle, are probably just the little one standing at the top, and more people will think that it is Liao Liao's album that is too popular. So it became popular with other songs, and "Unfinished Love" is just the beneficiary of it.

And obviously, whether it's He Runqing's own ideas, or the ideas given to her by people around her such as her agent, producer, and friends, in short, she has noticed this point and seen the market. real needs.

With He Runqing's musical quality and the opinions provided by so many professionals around her, it is obviously easy for her to understand that with her sweet voice, it may be difficult to switch to other songs, but singing "Unfinished Love" "The soothing Chinese style can definitely guarantee that both old fans and new fans will accept it with zero resistance!

How about a sweet song?

Of course!

Over the years, rock songs, country songs, and folk songs have dominated the market one after another, but sweet songs have always stood firm, and have always been popular all over the country. Even among the album sales of female singers, the sales of sweet songs have dominated for many years. Absolute dominance, can you say sweet songs are not good?

How about being a sweet song queen?

Of course!

Over the years, He Runqing has basically maintained the speed of releasing a new album every year. Although it is difficult to see a big hit in sales, basically every record can have a good sales volume. In addition, it is said that she is a very hardworking person, and she is desperately rushing to the show every year, and she will take on at least 50 commercial performances a year, so her income has always been considered undisputed among female singers. First.

However, anyone who has done a little research on the music market will find that the market is changing.

Female singers are gradually rising. Although they can't compete with the influence and market position of male singers for the time being, there is no doubt about the overall upward trend.

However, sweet songs are in decline.

Maybe it's because I'm tired of listening to it, maybe it's because I'm tired of listening to it, or maybe it's because I'm tired of listening to it... Of course, the main thing is that this market is constantly having singers like Zhen Zhen, Zhou Mo, and Liao Liao. With fresh music methods, fresh music categories and singing methods, the market position of sweet songs is shaky.

Li Qian doesn't have any detailed data to prove it, but even based on the few words he heard in the chat with Cao Zhan and the occasional phone conversations with Liao Liao, he can still infer In recent years, among the new female singers who have debuted in recent years, there are fewer and fewer who choose to take the sweet song route, and even if they are popular at the level of He Runqing, one of the four great queens, the queen of sweet songs, her album sales are also in the decrease year by year.

Otherwise... with a rookie female singer like Liao Liao, no matter how popular she is, everyone will go their own way. If you sell yours, it will not delay me from selling mine. She can be the first The album has rushed He Runqing's new album sales all the way down? You know, even back then, when Zhen Zhen was the most popular, He Runqing was not at all afraid to compete with Zhen Zhen's album, and even in terms of sales, she was often able to keep losing less and winning more!

Now, the market has changed.

He Runqing must have noticed it, and she obviously knows that if she wants to continue to be popular, then a moderate transformation is inevitable. Of course, maybe people have already noticed it, but they just can't think of a suitable transformation route for a while.

And now, she has found this suitable route.

That is Li Qian's Chinese style works.

So, she made a move.
